With Spade in the forest and the people of Cleov minding their own business, things were going rather smoothly, until a member of the Upper Class society entered their area.
It was a girl. She was a young girl, seemingly in her early twenties. And she was here for someone. Asking around here and there, she was not answered. The people viewed her as an enemy because she was an Upper Class.
After wandering, she came across Martha. Martha was also shocked by seeing a person from the country in the mountains.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Martha asked. "It's not quite common for you people to visit us."
"I am here looking for someone. I remember his name, Spade." The woman said.
Martha paused and thought. Why would someone look from the kingdom search for Spade? Is it that he had once again committed some crime there? And this time it was more serious?
Stopping her over thinking, she decides to ask the woman directly.
"Why are you looking for him?"
"Don't worry. I am not here for anything bad. Instead I am here to help him get into the exams." The woman said. "Just tell me where he is."
Martha thought for some time, meanwhile the woman remained silent. After much proceeding, she told her that he is off to the forest nearby.
"Thank you very much." The woman said as she left for the forest.
As soon as she walked into the forest, she jumped and stood on one of the many huge beaches of the trees. The branches were at least 80 feet above the ground. From there, she started leaping from one branch to another in search of Spade.
After 10 minutes of searching, she found Spade. He was sitting on one of the fallen logs and drinking water.
She jumped before him. Spade nearly choked on water as all of a sudden, a person appeared before him.
"Whoa! Who the hell are you?!" He exclaimed.
"Are you named Spade?" She asked.
"Yes. Hey, I haven't seen you anywhere here. Where are you from?"
"My name is Rebecca. And I am from the Upper Class. Also, I was there when you were being downgraded by the queen in that hall."
"Oh...." Spade said. Then he put his bottle inside his bag and started walking away.
"I know it was hard on you that time. I felt bad for you, so I am here to help you." Rebecca said, trying to stop him.
"Thanks. But I don't need your help. I have decided what I have to do."
Rebecca stopped. She thought he would accept her help. But this is a different scenario.
She asked him what he was gonna do. Although unwilling to answer at first, Spade decides to tell her.
"But you should not open your mouth in front of others." He demanded.
"Alright alright."
"You know that the exams are held every 25 years right? So you know what would be the perfect way to grab the attention? I am gonna raid the exams!
The first round is basically a kind of treasure hunt, from what I've heard. So I'd just air drop in between and then find the treasure myself! And since I can't do it alone, I am here in the forest to catch some animals to help me out."
"And how do you know where is the place if treasure hunt?"
Spade paused. He hasn't thought of that yet. He was so pumped up with the idea of raiding the biggest exam that he forgot the place of the mission.
"And that's why I can help you." Rebecca said.
"But why do you want to help me that bad?" Spade questioned. To which, Rebecca didn't answered.
"I... Have my own reasons." She said.
"Okay then. I am not interested in those anyways. I am kind of busy right now. Let's meet tomorrow, here. I am off for some animal hunting!"
Spade walked away as Rebecca stood on her place. Wind blew as she stared at the ground. After a while, she went away too.
